Ship the turn revisited

Doug, I just rewatched "Ship the Turn" and I wonder if there was any value to the concept of betting pre flop (smaller sizing) or on certain flops in a way that keeps worse hands in.
I tend to blow people out of pots when I have a big hand instead of getting them to come along.
Pre flop with 5X + we get lots of folds with our speculative hands but often don't see a flop with our premium holdings. I understand the meta game concept of forcing other players to start making mistakes by playing back light. But at 1 / 2 most of the limpers just play passively and only play back with Premium holdings. I see the value in playing aggressive and this is an important turning point in my game.

Much of this is covered in Soto's pain threshold thread:

If anything, I have been influenced by soto since this video was made to raise bigger pre for the reasons outlined in that thread.
